One male age 70-80. No females in household; apparently wife deceased. ROBERT WALTERS and SELETHA MCBEE were married about 1770 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. SELETHA MCBEE4, daughter of WILLIAM MCBEE and ABIGAIL ?HUBBARD, was born on 10 October 1751 in Halifax County, Virginia. She died before 1830 at the age of 79 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia.24 [Have also seen her name as Selethia and Leithia and "Letty"; surname as Magby.] Although Seletha appears as a daughter in every family tree - I have not found the absolute proof that she belongs here. She certainly did not leave Virginia and go to Tennessee, but then she was already married. Her age, and ages of her children, would indicate she couldn't have been the daughter of any of William McBee "Jr"'s brothers - she was older. Unfortunately no marriage record has been found for Seletha and Robert Walters - but then they haven't been found for several of her siblings. The source of her exact birthdate as often found, can also not be certified by any known document, but again, it must be close, considering ages of her children. And even if William McBee "Jr" was her father, that would not assure that Abigail was her mother. The given name Seletha, or forms thereof, does get handed down in this line of the family - I have not found the name Abigail used again in Seletha's line, but then I don't have the names of many of the grandchildren. It is possible that the birth of Seletha and a death as Feb of 1834 came from the writings of Earl Quintrell, said to be at the Tennessee Archives. His wife was a McBee descendant. Seletha did not appear to be in the 1830 census with her husband. ROBERT WALTERS and SELETHA MCBEE had the following children: DB 3, p.336 21 Jul 1773 Richard & Frances Carter, wife, of Halifax Co to George Carter of Pittsylvania 12# 10sh. 100 acres on draughts of Lower Double Creek of Dann.

For many years, I carried Robert's name with the middle initial "C"; however, after much research I was never able to prove that his middle initial was "C". Hopefully you might be able to help me here. Robert Walters was born in Lunenburg County, Virginia, and died February 28, 1834, in Pittsylvania County, Virginia. He married Seletha McBee about 1771 in Pittsylvania County, Virginia, daughter of William McBee and Abigail (?) McBee.

Robert Wister Walters, born December 7, 1775, Pittsylvania County, Virginia; married Elizabeth Bates Atkinson, January 21, 1813, Pittsylvania County, Virginia. Permission to marry was given by Elizabeth Atkinson's father on January 16, 1813. Elizabeth Atkinson's will was written on December 13, 1860. Laban Walters, born 1779; died after 1850, Williamson County, Tennessee; married Nancy Chaney, August 8, 1803. Thomas Walters, born about 1785; married Betsy Tanner, December 9, 1805, Pittsylvania County, Virginia I have corresponded with a lady in Longview, Gregg County, Texas, who is a relative of William H. Walters. I don't know if this is the William Walters of whom you speak, but we have tried, and are trying, to connect this family to my Walters' line; and, to date, we have been unable to do so.
